WHY THE MEN OBJECT.

As three coors are only used, red, green
and white, indicating danger, caution and
safety, respectively, the officials spoken to
saw no reason why the men should learn
dry goods clerk might perhaps be expected
to know. The men object to it because it
imposes upon them expense without any
corresponding benefit The examination
proposed would not aid them in securing a
situation, and al they see IN it at present is
the nice prospective fees of the examiner.
They saw no accidents were ever caused by
color blindness.
II is sad that Ohio and Ala bama are tho
only States which have such laws. In many
others tne railroads have their own regula-
tons, but TO these the men do not object,
for they are for their own good, and passing
that examination means something.

the State. Instead of Immediately setting
about the work the people sent them here to
do. they have thrown their duty and their
oaths to the winds, and have devoted
all their time and energies to steal
ing the Office Of Lieutenant governor. Their
motives and methods have been in consonance
with the act. The attempted usurpation is
simply political burglary, the ends in view
are purely selfish and partisan, and the
means used to accomplish them have been
brutal and contemplate in the last degree
In pursuit of their ends they have violated
the decencies Of debate, and parliamentary
usage, tyrannized over a minority, ignored
the laws, broken their oaths and t,ampled

TIME AND, MONEY wAsrED-roR wHArq

Six days of the legislative session have
passed without anything having been done, or
any steps taken towards general legislation.
The Constitution limits the duration of the
regular session to sixty-one days, and also pro-
vides that no bill shall be presented to the
Governor for his signature within two days
preceding the final adjournment. Thus the
session is practically limited to fifty nine days,
including Sundays, and six Of these are al
ready gone. The Legislature costs 81, 500 a
day, making the cost for the six days since it
convened $4,000, and nothing done yet in the
way of general legislation, or even preparing
for it. For this state of things the Democrat
ic filibusters in the Senate are responsible
They were elected and sent here by the people,
as were the Republican Senators and mem
bers, to legislate for the public welfare and
for the interests of the State. There are
many important matters demanding the
attention of the Legislature. Some of
these were mentioned in the Governors

them here, but they involve large interests
and matters in which the people of the entire
State are concerned. Nothing has been

already passed, at an expense to tine people OF
ST. 500 day. For this state of things, we
repeat, the Democrats are responsible By

A PROMINENT wholesale merchant of New

dry goods business in New York is now prac-

years ago there were twice that number of
leading firms and before the war four times as
many" ASKED the reason Of this, he replied:

goods last year. What do you suppose was
